Yoon Han-hong, a lawmaker of People's Power who was originally called pro-Yoon (pro-Yoon Seok-yeol), claimed on the 11th, "I told President Yoon Suk Yeol on the eve of last year's general election campaign that he should apologize for the medical school increase problem, and I heard all the curses I have never heard in my life."
When asked on SBS radio's "Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show" earlier in the day, Yoon said, "There was an opportunity for former President Yoon Suk Yeol to decide that he should not do that even before the December 3 emergency martial law."
Rep. Yoon said he texted then-President Yoon on March 27, the day before the start of last year's general election campaign. Referring to the issue of medical school quotas, he told President Yoon, "You have to bow your head and apologize," and "If you don't win the general election, you can't work as a president." "It was the same in two years, but it's the same in the next three years," he said. "Let's revise 2,000 medical school quotas," and President Yoon was very angry.
Lawmaker Yoon said, "I was so angry that I couldn't hold the phone for 10 minutes," adding, "I've heard all the curses I've never heard in my life."
He said, "President Yoon's thoughts were completely different at the time," adding, "Oh, this is a big problem. He said he thought, 'Who the hell was he listening to?'
Later, lawmaker Yoon added, "When I saw it later, it was similar to the fierce YouTubers who said they would win the general election."
Meanwhile, Rep. Yoon also explained the background of his public criticism in his recent face, saying, "It's like a dog with a stung face criticizing a dog with a cold shoulder." He said, "I visited Representative Jang individually and suggested an apology for martial law and insulation with former President Yoon, but (Rep. Jang) didn't say anything in particular and just laughed," adding, "When I saw it on December 3rd, a message came out in a different direction from most of the lawmakers, so I thought, 'We don't have time now, we shouldn't do this."
Lawmaker Yoon reiterated, "We should no longer accept Yoon's claim," adding, "We should apologize first and insulate ourselves from former President Yoon."
Regarding the announcement of the interim results of the "party bulletin board controversy," which is suspected of involvement in former CEO Han Dong-hoon's family, he said, "I don't think it is appropriate at this point." "Former representative Han should have cleaned up if there was a mistake at that point," he added. "It is not good to have an internal fight when we have to focus on the Unification Church issue and what President Lee did wrong."

"Even within the party, lawmakers are slowly beginning to distance themselves.
I don’t understand why they go so far as to defend a traitor to the nation.
If they would just apologize cleanly and move on, they would remain the second-largest political force regardless of qualifications or ability.
When I think about why they are being swayed like this, the only reason that comes to mind is that Yoon is a former prosecutor."
